G. lamprosema seems the most likely (and the closest based on the images I can find online), especially based on the 3rd image visible on BOLD Systems 4. However the markings near the forewing tip in the BOLD image don't show the two outer white parallel bands meeting and joining at the costa as they apparently do on the LHS and possibly also the RHS in the images of the moth above.
